I am considering getting Netflix. I'm trying to figure out which program I want: 1, 2 or 3 DVDs at a time. Basically, I want to be able to watch as many movies a month as I can to get my money's worth.
So how long does it take to get a new DVD after you send one back?
Netflix.com says 1 day, but I think they're full of it. I figure if I get the 2 or 3 disk plan, I can send one back. Then watch the next one (or two) by the time a new one arrives.
What're your guys' experience with Netflix's timliness on delivery?

I think the best bet for your money is the 3disk plan. That is what my family gets and we really enjoy getting a movie for each of us. Where we live, IL, it usually takes 2days to get one after sending it back but that is if i am good about sending it out in the morning and not waiting till afternoon. The important thing with Netflix is to keep your quere full of movies. If it is constantly full of movies you wish to receive then you will never run out of movies coming back to you. As far as Netflix i believe them when they say next day shipping. The problem is my mail delivery system usually takes 2days. We keep ours for a week then send them back on a thursday night and that way we are set again for the weekend. I have also never had a billing problem with them. It is fun getting a new movie in the mail without having to get out in the cold and rent one. Yes i am lazy but i love lounging around the house nude and warm instead of loading up in a snowsuit and getting cold again.Netflix is great.

I would get three... I got three in the past and really liked it because by the time one went back I would have another in the mail box. I had net flix when they first came out and it was a two to three day turnaround, but I know they have expanded so better serve people, so dependent on where you live. But just know that they have to receive the previous dvd and then the same day they send out the next one on your list. I cant remember the pricing but I really think the 3 dvd option will give you the most for your buck.

My experience with Netflix was great by the time you finish to see your third one you will already have the new ones in the mail waiting for you. I live in the U.S. and never had a problem with the movies not getting to me on time. The best plan is the 3 at a time. And you can keep them as long as you can without charge. The timing depends on where you live but they are pretty fast with the delivery.

I have had no problem using Netflix before. They usually get me my dvd's within a few days. Either Netflix is having a problem or the dvd's are on a waiting list and they are not available, but if they were I don't know why the people at Netflix wouldn't tell you. I hope you get your dvd's soon.

I usually have a 5 - 7 day turn around period, depending on Sundays, holidays, time of day it gets in the mail, etc. they don't send another one out the same day they receive yours; it takes one day to process.
I've used Blockbuster & Netflix. I like Netflix better. Blockbuster has coupons & such, but the service wasn't as good as Netflix. Also I like the search options better in Netflix and it seems they always have the movies I want.

I went with the 3 program, but we get the movie, watch it and send it back the next day. They take about 2 to 3 days to deliver.

When I send back a dvd, it takes a day to get back to Netflix. Then sometimes it takes them a day to get the new one ready to ship out, then a day to get to me. So we're talking 3 days or more between videos. On average, I only get one new set of discs per week.
